Planned Parenthood Wants Equipment That Should Go to PA Doctors Fighting Coronavirus

(Harrisburg) — Even during this time of crisis, Planned Parenthood Keystone has put out a plea for donations of “hand sanitizer, home sewn masks, shoe covers and surgical hats” to be used by abortionists. Today the American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA), a statewide traditional values organization,  has contacted Governor Tom Wolf demanding that he not only close all abortion facilities down, but see that their stockpile of PPEs be placed into the hands of medical personnel who are on the frontlines of fighting the coronavirus.

Below is the text of the email sent to Governor Wolf:

While closing other businesses, you have allowed Planned Parenthood, which is NOT a ‘life-sustaining’ business to continue operating during this crisis, while other states have shut them down.  Now Planned Parenthood is asking for donations of “hand sanitizer, home sewn masks, shoe covers and surgical hats.”  These items are to be used during abortions, as Planned Parenthood Keystone has announced abortion service only will be provided at the Allentown, Wilkes-Barre, Warminster, Reading, York and Harrisburg facilities.  

Why should Planned Parenthood  be permitted to ask for donations of supplies that should be going to medical personnel who are on the frontlines of fighting this war against the coronavirus?

The AFA of PA is demanding that you shutdown all abortion facilities in Pennsylvania and that their stockpile of PPEs be given to Pennsylvania medical doctors and staff who are fighting this pandemic.

“While tens of thousands of Pennsylvanians are out of work today because of a directive from Governor Wolf, it is beyond belief that he would allow this to happen under his very nose.  Granted, as a former Planned Parenthood escort, he is in their camp, but this decision places all Pennsylvanians who are or who may be exposed to the coronavirus at risk.  Doctors and hospital staff should be outraged that Planned Parenthood is asking for donations of equipment those on the frontlines of fighting the coronavirus need.  We should be working together to protect those who are working feverishly to protect others from this pandemic not showing favoritism to certain groups,” Diane Gramley, President of the AFA of PA noted.
